I stumbled upon this handy glossary while dinking around on the Williams Sonoma Home website. I have a feeling even the most professional of professionals stumble on their terminology from time to time. Thank you, WS Home!

Upon learning that the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show was in Chicago I immediately started thinking about all the great Chicago shops I wanted to try to squeeze in (as if the show and parties wouldn’t keep me busy enough) and then it hit me, Jayson Home & Garden is in Chicago! I adore their website and was determined to get there no matter what! Three phone calls for directions (everyone was very helpful), one seedy city bus and one wobbly train ride later and I had actually made it. It is located in what seemed to be a very young, urban, hip part of Chicago- Lincoln Park. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Oh, and p.s. the CB2 is also in the neighborhood.

The eye candy that greets you at the front door… zebras, and greek key, and orchids oh my!
